Hetland attended school at Watson, Saskatchewan then studied at the Agricultural College in Fargo, North Dakota. He became a farmer by career, a municipal councillor from 1929 to 1932 and a school trustee from 1931 to 1943.
He was first elected to Parliament at the Humboldt riding in the 1949 general election.
